Product DescriptionThis text adopts an evolutionary perspective on population biology. To help undergraduate students better understand the subject, Dick Neal presents stepbystep spreadsheet simulations of many basic equations that explore the outcomes or predictions of the various models. Proven examples demonstrate how the equations can be applied to biological questions, and problem sets and detailed solutions challenge the student's comprehension. Many real life examples are also included to help the reader relate the quantitative theory to the natural world.Review'The author does a commendable job synthesizing general theory and empirical work in the diverse field of population biology in a comprehensive yet approachable manner for an undergraduate audience. Nevertheless, this book serves as a wellwritten and comprehensive introduction to the field that will be a valuable reference in undergraduate classes.' The Quarterly Review of Biology, Kim T. Scribner'...this book should be a valuable tool for university professors that teach introductory population biology. The breadth of the subjects covered in the book will make it easier for students to refer to one textbook where they can find all the appropriate information...It is well written, interesting to read and nicely illustrated...The stepbystep instructions for spreadsheet simulations of many of the basic equations should be particularly useful for undergraduate students.' Ecoscience, Eric T. Reed, Canadian Wildlife ServiceBook DescriptionProvides a quantitative and Darwinian perspective on population biology, with problem sets, simulations and worked examples to aid the student.About the AuthorDICK NEAL is Professor of Biology, and Associate Dean (Science) in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan.
